Newsletters and Email Campaigns

Send
Newsletter Messages and Email Campaigns

MailList Controller makes sending an email to your list as easy
as sending a regular email message. MailList Controller sends one
individual message for each recipient, just like you would send
a single email message to each subscriber by hand.

Fast
SMTP Mailer Software Engine for Email Marketing

The SMTP mailer engine can send out a high volume of email messages
to your contacts. All you need to use our email marketing software
is an email account and a Windows PC, notebook or server.

Personalization
(Mail Merge)

The personalization (mail merge) feature allows to send personalized
messages to large groups. It sends one separate email message to
each recipient, which ensures privacy of the members. This means
each message has only one recipient.

Works
with any Mail Account SMTP/ESMTP

Our software can be used together with the mail server of your
mail provider or your company (including MS Exchange).

Partial
and delayed Send Mode for limited Mail Accounts

MailList Controller is a fast mailer, but will not overload your
mail server. It includes different options to limit and slow down
the mailing. This feature is essential since most have limited the
number of outgoing messages.

Support
for SSL and StartTLS - Secure Socket Layer

MaiList Controller supports explicit and implicit secure socket
layer (SSL) connections to ensure that the program will work together
with most mail servers, providers and popular mail services.

Pick-up
Folder Mode for Direct Mailing using your Mail Server

The option "Mail Server Pickup Folder" can be used if your mail
server has a pickup directory. In this mode, the program does not
use SMTP. It creates an .eml file in the pick-up folder for each
message instead ... the mail server picks up the .eml file and sends
the message directly to your contact.

Click on a button to open the newsletter message in an external editor,
edit the message in the external editor, save it and click on "Update".

Import HTML
Files from an external HTML Editor

You can import designed html pages and custom templates in HTML format
into the program. The "Source Mode" feature allows you to disable the
WYSIWYG editor, so that the original HTML code will not be modified
by the internal editor.

Supports
international Charsets

The program is written in unicode and encodes messages in utf-8.

Responsive
and Static Email Newsletter Templates

MailList Controller includes
responsive and static
HTML email newsletter templates. The
newsletter templates
and layouts are in compatible HTML format and can be edited using the
internal editor on an external HTML editor. It's also possible to import
custom or third-party newsletter templates in HTML format. The option
"Source Mode" disables the internal editor, so that external or third-party
newsletter templates can be used without any modifications by the internal
WYSIWYG editor.

Support
for external Users

Authorized users can send a message to the list from any location.
This function is user and password protected to protect the list from
spammers and unauthorized users. It enables external users to send an
email to the list from any mail program or web mail client.

Contact List Management

Private
and Secure: Database stored on your Computer

The contacts are stored private and secure on your own computer
and not somewhere on the internet. MailList Controller is a software
product for PC - not a hosted online service.

No duplicate
Email Addresses

The internal database uses the email address as primary key,
which eliminates duplicate email addresses within a single list
automatically.

MailList Controller supports 2 different list types: mailing
lists and linked lists. A linked list queries the contacts from
external database instead of the internal database. This allows
you to connect MailList Controller to an existing customer or contact
database.

This unique feature allows to split a mailing list in different
subsets. The included query maker can be used on mailing lists and
experts can use a SQL-like where-clause for complex queries on linked
lists.

Email
Tracking e.g. using Google Analytics

Track click-through and open-rate statistics e.g. using Google
Analytics to see the results of your email marketing campaign. All
you need to do is to add a tagged link to your newsletter message.

Mailing List Synchronization

Process
Subscribe and Remove Requests via Email or Web Form

The automated processing of user subscribe/remove requests is email
based. This means a user can send message with e.g. "Remove" to the
lists email address, or you use a web form for this purpose (which is
recommended).

HTML Form
Tool for Newsletter Subscription and Removal

Adding a web form couldn't be easier. The program contains a built-in
tool, which will build the HTML web form and the php-script for you.
It's also possible to use a custom form - it works with most contact
form scripts.

If you want to create a more sophisticated web
form, e.g. including a captcha, then you should take a look at:
Arclab Web Form Builder.

Customizable
Returned Mail (Bounce) Detection

MailList Controller can automatically detect returned emails and
remove or mark the email address which is not (or no longer) valid.
The detection is based on multiple filters and custom keywords.

Subscribe
Archive - Save Subscribe Email Source

The software has a feature called "Subscribe Message Archive", which
could be used to store a copy of the incoming subscribe message in .eml
(Source) format to "proof" that the member has subscribed to the list.

Single
and Double Opt-in Newsletter Subscriptions

With a single opt-in
process, an address is automatically added to the mailing list
as soon as it's submitted, e.g. through a sign-up form at a
website. After adding the new member the program can send an
optional "welcome message".

Double opt-in means the
submitted address is not immediately added to the mailing list.
Instead an email is sent back to the email address, requesting
confirmation. The recipient can confirm the request by replying
to the confirmation message. The email address will be activated
only if the recipient responds to the confirmation email. The
confirmation process very simple - all the new subscriber has
to do is to click "Reply".
